I can see how this is a hit or miss scent. Its very unique and somewhat of a niche scent for Skylar. To me, it smells like a rich b*tch leaving a late night party, smelling like her vanilla perfume got entangled with hookah smoke. I love it!

This smells just like beeswax! Like it a lot!

I was generously gifted a sample of this and when I first spray it I can tell the top notes are off because it smelled like olives. I really just assumed that was how the perfume smelled at first and it was probably some terrible skin chemistry issue and I was willing to move on. I sprayed the rest of the little vial on my arms today so I could throw it away and be done and about an hour later I was getting the most delicious little wafts up to my nose. It’s a light vanilla scent with a hint of creaminess to it. The tonka is not overpowering at all and it’s not that overdone generic designer scent tonka bean note. You know the one that is in everything. This is much lighter and I don’t want to say fresher but it’s got this airy quality to it. The wafts from this thing are gorgeous and surprisingly enough I feel it’s quite unisex, like I’d be intrigued to smell this on a guy and feel it might even suit them better (although mine won’t go for it, he won’t even wear his full bottles much less a dainty little sample vial, sigh). I might purchase a full bottle someday if Skylar prices come down, I don’t wanna pay $75+ for a “natural” perfume with questionable performance and preservation abilities- re: the olive situation, but if I ever see a bottle for around $40 I’d be happy to snatch it up.

I hadn't worn it in many months so I listed it for sale on Mercari. Later that day I decided to sniff it again and I had forgotten what a beautiful scent it was! I sprayed some on my arm and right then I went and deleted the listing. I had to keep it. It's really the only one I like out of Skylar's EDTs. On my skin, this is a beautiful, darker floral that leans sweet not cloying. It has a softened spiciness to it that I love. The patchouli is there but it's not the loud, in your face, type of patchouli. I would describe this as an edgy floral. Something about makes me really like it. I haven't smelled another fragrance like it.

Finally, after trying all of what Skylar has to offer, I find something I like. This is a nice, balanced, spicy floral that offers at least a little complexity instead of being one note wonders like many of Skylar's other fragrances. (Yes, I realize you are supposed to layer them. No, I'm not into that.) Tonka bean is present, but I can still smell the vanilla and jasmine. Patchouli is also present in the background but not overpowering. I will probably pick this one up in a full size, as it will serve me well in spring and fall.
